Color your world: Spectrum 3.0

With the new SPECTRUM 3.0 software, Caparol once again has considerably broadened the options for the design of façades and interiors.
For the first time, the DVD now offers all-inclusive room design, which in addition to colours and structures now includes a multitude of materials for floors, such as carpet, linoleum and parquets, and materials for curtains, furniture and interior profiles.
Through cooperation with the manufacturers Tarkett, NMC, Dura and drapilux, the design range has been expanded to more than 5.000 surfaces.

Improvements and Innovations

With the new SPECTRUM 3.0 software, Caparol has once again raised the bar in the flexibility of designing façades and interiors.

• EXPLORER, 3Dstudio, presentation module
• Additional collections of all manufacturers involved
•  All materials from Caparol BOX 3, 4, 5 and the Trends Collection
• Extension to over 250 objects from nearly all European countries
• Inclusion of additional colour collections in addition to Caparol and RAL-K5 now also NCS 1950, Histolith and many others

EXPLORER

The EXPLORER provides a clear overview and simple coordination between all areas. The extended search features provide an additional advantage. A pack-&-go feature also facilitates transfer between differing computers.

PICTUREstudio

In the PICTUREstudio, your own image data can now be processed using an image retouch function. In the expert mode, tools such as grid types for roundings, columns and furniture are available. Profiles for interior design can be added here.

PICTUREservice

Via PICTUREservice, Caparol processes the image data for a fee within two business days. Three levels of image processing are available, depending on the quality desired.

CREATIVEstudio

The CREATIVEstudio allows objects to be designed with ease using colours and structures at the click of a mouse. The international library of images with over 200 photographically realistic facades and interiors now includes half-timbered houses, under-ground parking garages, shops, bars and restaurants. Work rooms, reception areas, hotel rooms, health & care areas as well as business areas have now likewise been added.

The new Caparol ideas catalogue may also be accessed for the design of façades for single and multiple family homes. All Caparol sample boxes, the new BOX 5 for staircase design, and the trend collection are all available as material collections.
 

3Dstudio

Virtual rooms can be constructed and designed with colour and materials in the 3Dstudio— perfect for new designs. Realistic impressions of the room can be experienced from various viewpoints.

MATERIALstudio

Individual surfaces can be created in the MATERIALstudio. It offers millions of options of structural and colour combination–not least by incorporating new products such as the Histolith colour fan for the maintenance of historical buildings or the Fantastic Fleece decorative wall covering.

PRESENTATION

Through new presentation options, it is now easier to decide which design options to ultimately choose. Two to four variants can therefore be displayed on one screen at the same time, or as many images as desired can be displayed in a sequence.
 
 
 
CALIBRATION

The software offers the option of calibrating the colours. Colour reproduction can be optimised on the monitor using 15 original samples from the Caparol 3D system. Brightness and saturation, as well as the individual colour canals, can all be adjusted independently.
